REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS:
The VK-R1 remote control that comes with your VK-5i has the following functions:
1. Volume Up and Volume Down control
2. Mute function
3. Fade Down/Fade Up function
4. Storing and recalling of the preset volume positions
The following describes these functions.
Volume Up and Down
These two buttons are programmed with variable speed volume change profiles. The rate of
volume change will be slow upon initial pressing of the Volume Up or Down buttons.
Holding the button depressed will cause the rate of change to accelerate, allowing for more
flexible control when large changes in volume are required.
Mute
Pressing this button will cause the MUTE function in the VK-5i to toggle between ON and
OFF states. The Mute LED on the VK-5i display will reflect the status of the Mute circuit.
Fade
Pressing the FADE button on the VK-R1 remote control will cause the volume to smoothly
decay over the period of several seconds. This allows for a gradual reduction in volume, as
opposed to the instantaneous MUTE function. This can be particularly useful during the
presentation or demonstration of your equipment. When the FADE button is pressed, the
volume will go down all the way to zero (00 on display, unit in Mute).
Pressing the Fade button again will cause the volume to ramp up and return to its initial
value.
